Gregory Yunov, DDS, MD — Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

Few dental teams include a doctor who is both a dentist and a physician. Dr. Gregory Yunov is exactly that — a Columbia-trained oral and maxillofacial surgeon whose dual training anchors GD Dentistry’s most advanced surgical work, from routine extractions to full-arch implant reconstruction.

Education and Training

Dr. Yunov began his academic journey at Queens College, part of the City University of New York, where he earned his bachelor’s degree. He then advanced to Columbia University College of Dental Medicine for his dental doctorate, followed by a six-year residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery and five years of experience in private dental practice.

Areas of Specialty

Dr. Yunov specializes in several key areas of surgical dentistry:

• Extractions
• Dental implants and guided implant surgery
• Sinus lifts and bone grafting
• Teeth-in-a-day (All-on-X surgery)
• IV sedation

Deeply committed to continuing education, Dr. Yunov is an active member of the American Dental Association, the New York Dental Association, the New Jersey Dental Association, and the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.

Why His Dual Training Matters for Patients

Implant surgery is still surgery. Dr. Yunov’s medical degree and six-year surgical residency mean complex cases — severe bone loss, medically compromised patients, full-arch reconstructions under IV sedation — are handled with a physician’s understanding of the whole patient, not just the mouth. It’s a major reason GD Dentistry can confidently treat patients other offices refer out or turn away.

Outside the Office

Outside of his professional life, Dr. Yunov enjoys spending time with his wife, an orthodontist, and their two daughters. His interests include biking, reading, socializing with friends, and exploring new technologies. An interesting fact: he is a fifth-generation healer — both of his parents are physicians, and in addition to being a dentist, Dr. Yunov is a physician himself.
